SOEN Prog Metal Royalty Announce Long Awaited Australian Shows With THE OMNIFIC

In the world of progressive metal, few bands command the same level of reverence as SOEN. Renowned for their cinematic soundscapes, intricate musicianship, and emotionally intense live performances, the Swedish outfit have carved out a distinctive space within modern heavy music.

Blending atmospheric prog, crushing riffs, and deeply introspective songwriting, SOEN continue to captivate audiences worldwide while earning universal critical acclaim.

Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, the band have released a string of acclaimed albums since their 2012 debut Cognitive. Drawing influence from the likes of Tool and Pink Floyd while forging a sound entirely their own, SOEN have become one of progressive metal’s most compelling acts.

“The comparisons to Tool is not a knock. It’s a testament to Soen’s ability to channel that kind of tension and mood while being unmistakably themselves. When they come through your city, make the effort. This is a band that shines live… Absolutely killer!” — LoudFlash.com

Joining SOEN on this highly anticipated Australian run are local progressive favourites THE OMNIFIC, who will celebrate their 10-year anniversary with a special set featuring songs not performed live in years — and possibly never to be played again.

The Omnific’s 2021 debut album Escapades debuted at #3 on the Australian Indie Album Charts and received praise from Metal Hammer, Guitar World, Bass Player, Bass Magazine, and the UK’s renowned PROG Magazine, which described the release as “a veritable master class”.

Their 2024 follow-up, The Law Of Augmenting Returns, further elevated the band’s profile, helping them surpass 17 million Spotify streams and over 5 million YouTube views.

Known for their explosive live performances packed with swagger, technical precision, and showmanship, THE OMNIFIC have continued to leave a lasting impression on audiences across the globe.
